I had some fun with this one people, almost imagined I was on the same 'trip' as Lennon and McCartney!

Credits - mostly free brushes from a number of sources. (Why don't artists label them so we can give credit where it's due?). Also SharingTubes and MartaVanEck. The newspaper taxis and rocking horse people are my own. NOTE : I will be away from home (holidaying in Greece - hee hee) for a couple of weeks from tomorrow so won't be able to comment on your lovely work until I get home. Back on 15 July.

Marie has asked for HOT COLOURS this week at TAKE A WORD and that reminded me of the strange dream I had a week last Tuesday night. There I was dancing the Swan Lake and the audience were applauding my beautiful light touch and lovely moves when I was rudely awakened by some strange noise from outside. I got up to look out of my window and could hardly believe what I saw. There it was, a dirigible floating (almost silently) across the sky, and there were people in it taking in the wonders of the scene below which I think was somewhere in Africa. There were animals and people and those strange flat topped trees they have in Africa and it looked very very hot indeed. I can't be sure but if I had to guess I'd say it looked for all the world like a steampunk safari!

Credit to SharingTubes for the setting sun, whilst the trees, animals, people and dandilion clocks are brushes. The background is my own.

Bev has called for APPLES as the theme for this week at the Three Muses and that reminded me of the apples I spied a week last Tuesday. On first glance they looked shiny and healthy enough, but on closer inspection I'm sure I saw a caterpillar sitting there as bold as brass ... smoking. Imagine!

Our challenge this week at the Three Muses is to create art containing fish and that's when I remembered what I saw a week last Tuesday. Just as I opened the curtains to a new day something caught my eye, and I know you'll find it hard to believe, but there was a lady sailing a beautiful silver fish with green fins across the sky. I stared at her for a while transfixed and she seemed to look my way for an instant too before she continued serenely on her way.

Credits to Frank-1956 for the birds, Pixabay for the fish, NumbBumm for the clouds, me for the background textures layered and blended, and the lady, well she began her life elsewhere!

It's BEAUTY this week at Take a Word which could have been a tricky one. However, just as I was giving this some serious thought the decision was taken out of my hands as this little lady had already decided who was the most beautiful of them all! Who am I to argue.

The raven haired beauty is courtesy of the public domain, though she did get a bit of a makeover from me. The mirror was labelled on Google free for re-use and the background is a number of my own textures layered and blended.
